    Yes. Doing in-depth tutorials on different materials/part are a life saver. instead of trying to find certain aspects of a long video and then having to replay that over and over while painting.

    videos like this are very helpful to the beginning painter. Good for understanding lighting and the transition from the bottom of the face to the top.

    It's such an amazing thing to have such an array of "tutorials" to pick from.
    You can get something like " how to paint faces " by Jon, which is something that hits a wide range of use.
    Then you got Vincy V. with a tutorial on how to paint the big toenail on a Spacewolf's right foot during a Bloodmoon.
    Thanks for yet another amazing video with a lot to learn

    I enjoy video that highlight ways to possibly conserve time in painting. The 30 minute face is the "best bang for your buck" so to speak. And pointing that out points at the best way to utilize my time painting, especially when army painting and not display or competition painting.

    Definitely prefer these videos, because these are the ones that will actually make me paint better- as opposed to other painting videos where you just watch someone paint with zero direction on how to replicate the end goal.

    This has become my go to video to show friends new to the hobby on your channel and has, as you said it would, made painting heads a delight. This video does leave me with questions about painting other skin tones especially introducing warmth and shadow on dark skin. That's not even taking into consideration other alien physiologies or even space marine skin turning pitch black to adapt to UV in space.

  • @richard9700
    @richard9700 10 місяців тому

    I always find some take away from your videos, regardless of the specific subject, but this one in particular was really insightful. Especially where you mentioned returning to the painting table after a break - I thought it was just me.
    I would love to see something like this for monochromatic paint schemes as I searched high and low to no avail recently.
    Keep up the great work!

    I haven't painted a face in over a year, and watching this video has me pumped to challenge myself with a few over the weekend! I'd love to see more videos like this -- maybe even more face vids diving into different skin tones and female faces.

    @marshallhunter4193 Рік тому +3

    I enjoyed your video greatly. Having recently returned to painting after a good amount of time I am trying to learn new ways of doing my models, I noticed many painters are using techniques which either dinnae exist or more likely were not publicly shared in the past. Watching you do faces in several different time limits was extremely helpful. Any chance you could do a video on bare hands, gloved hands or any other type of hands?

  • @DigitalOrigami
    @DigitalOrigami Рік тому +1

  • @duncanmcdane388
    @duncanmcdane388 11 місяців тому

    Good one, thanks. I think the 30 minutes one has the most expression ( not only because of the design but because it's a bit "harsher" painted ), would definitely go for that!

    This was a great video. I love seeing the technique, I love the fact that it was an experiment where you got to do some theory crafting then we got to watch you apply the things you were talking about. I have been prepping to make a serious attempt at faces and this video crammed so much into a short amount of time it was the best video on the subject that I’ve watched so far.

    Good video Jon, I like this kind of content sometimes. Touching on your comment about needing to get back into groove after a while not painting, I absolutely have that. I’ve often found though that while my fine oainting skills are rusty, a couple of slap chop jobs really warm the painting muscles up.

    I think your right there is a minimal difference between 30 and 60 min version. I'm not a competitive painter, but I do still Glean some knowledge on painting faces from it. Oh, and your soundtrack has a little 80's vibe in it which I love.

      Seriously, why does he outright refuse to credit the music he uses? He's never creditied any music artists in his videos and I think that's grossly egotistical towards the artists and of course those viewers that want to know the songs.

  • @briankurz9992

    I have always hated painting faces always chosen to give models a helmet instead. Took the plunge today after seeing this video a couple months ago, did I start small or did I go straight for Bobby G? I love this technique for painting faces, Bobby Gs noggin came out brilliantly. It is the only time I have ever been happy with a face I've painted ever any other time its been that'll do. So thank you Ninjon

  • @chance9979
    @chance9979 Рік тому

    I really enjoyed this video, not for the deep dive specifically, but rather highlighting how much can be done with some forethought prior to setting out. The 30 minute face looks awesome, and even for 10 minutes is clean. Knowing how you decided to adjust the process to the "errors" that happened provided a lot of insight to higher level painting skills such as color mixing on the fly and adjusting saturation and contrast.

  • @A93A93
    @A93A93 Рік тому

    Very much appreciate the tips and ideas. We are taught in traditional portrait painting that the face can be looked at primarily in 3 colors to create that realistic skin effect: yellows in the forehead, reds in the cheeks, nose, and around the eyes (middle of face), and blue for the bottom. What you show here makes sense.

A dip into a desaturated grimdark pale sickly way, and classic acrylic. From african to central euro to scandinavian skin tones, the ins and outs, and something outlandish like those dark violet charcoal salamander marine heads...

    Just recently found your channel, thanks for the video! I like these more tutorial-ish videos. The amount of knowledge and help out there nowadays is amazing. The first time I painted a warhammer mini was back in the 90s when my dad took me to a hobby shop he liked, and back then all I had to go on was a "how to paint warhammer 40k" book, what my dad knew about scale modelling, though he was more of an RC guy, and what I knew about value from my drawing back then. This is a great time to get back into the hobby there's so much info out there now that just didn't exist back when I was a kid.

Anyway, as always great work!

  • @inigomontoya6968

    A fun video! If I could offer one suggestion; I'd have a section of the 3 heads, in their finished state, at the very beginning of the video and ask the audience to choose A, B or C on which is which. Then proceed with the painting steps / instruction. This way your audience is then vested into seeing if they were right. You might get a few more people watching until the end that way.

    Jon this was great! I am honestly looking for more and more videos like this, i.e. here is 1 or 2 techniques that you can focus on and easily try to up your "X" game in this case face game. I am 100% going to be trying the 2 tone darker to lighter with the blue and red incorporation on the several faces even with a couple variations as well. But this type of content is easy to not only understand but it is executable which is not always the case. This is far different than painting an entire model which is great but this content lends itself to actually teaching the viewer vs just showing. More of this please.
